Abstract
Background: Patients with diabetes have a high risk of secondary physiological and psychological complications. Some interventions based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have been used to control glucose levels and improve negative emotions of patients with diabetes.
Objectives: This review aims at comparing the efficacy of different delivery formats for CBT on patients with diabetes.
Methods: We searched five databases for randomized control trials that compared one CBT delivery format against another format or control conditions for diabetes on patients of all ages in September 2023. And we only included the articles in English. Studies were selected manually and assessed by two independent reviewers and any objection was consulted by a third reviewer. We will use pairwise meta-analyses and frequentist network meta-analyses with the random-effects model to synthesize data.
Results: 55 unique trials compared six CBT delivery formats with four control conditions. CBT delivery formats included individual, group, telephone, digital assisted, guided self-help and unguided self-help. Primary outcomes are psychological variables, including depression, anxiety and distress symptoms, and quality of life. Secondary outcomes are physiological variables, including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c%), fasting blood glucose (FBS mg/dl), systolic blood pressure (SBP mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP mmHg), and body mass index (BMI kg/m²). Data analysis will be finished before May 2024.
Conclusions: This review will provide considerable evidence to the efficacy of different delivery formats for cognitive behavioral therapy on patients with diabetes.
